Controlled narrates the story of the year 1977. On the night of Stammheim, a self is imprisoned in its own mind, awake in an attic room in Paris. Black cell: What is the state? How does time pass? Who am I? Why is terror truth? What do the words mean? Nothing becomes clear. Eventually, sleep arrives. Dictation: Dreamed, the year appears in calm images, orderly, a student life, completely normal, almost an idyll, into which politics suddenly explodes. Why? In the name of the people: Day by day, the reconstruction of the 44 days of the German autumn now responds. How do I owe Raspe and Klar, revolution, state? In the light of the dawning morning, everything that has happened seems reasonable to the self with death. Controlled: but the construction of terror has also determined the book about it: word for word the truth. And yet, as a whole, false.
